End Restoration Hassles with the Hollander Classic Vehicle Identifier Manual

Restoring your classic vehicle's original identify can sometimes turn you into a detective. Lost parts, excessive damage or undocumented modifications can make it difficult, if not impossible, to accurately restore your vehicle to its original condition.

That's where the Hollander Classic Vehicle Identifier Manual can help. It focuses on the complete vehicle, streamlining your restoration efforts, and quickly ending frustrating searches for data. It contains critical material to help you cross-reference production year, make and model with appropriate body style, engine, transmission and option details.

Every identification number on your vehicle contains a wealth of information. For instance:

The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) of a 1975 Ford Comet denotes that the vehicle has an 8-302 engine

The GM Fisher body code for a 1973 Cadillac shows whether the model was a "Fleetwood" or "Brougham make

The year-to-model crossover chart for a 1972 Toyota Celica details that the transmission was available as a 4 or 5-speed manual.

and much more.

Determining your vehicle's original identity not only speeds your restoration efforts, but can also dramatically increase the value of your classic car. For example, having an original engine can raise a classic vehicle's value as much as 30 percent.
